CARB 2
Regulation for the Reporting of Criteria Air Pollutants and
Toxic Air Contaminants (CTR) became effective on January 1, 2020
First year of implementation is “business as usual”
reporting
subject to CTR must report data as specified by their local air district’s existing emissions reporting program.
3
CTR reporting will harmonize emissions reporting requirements
and support several mandatory state and federal programs

CARB 4
Increased focus on mobile, stationary, and area-wide
emissions inventory improvements
emissions from stationary source facilities
Current criteria and toxics emissions reporting meets the
needs of historical programmatic goals

8
Collect emissions data from sources statewide
Minimize resource impacts Provide applicability thresholds that are easy-to-
understand by industry and the public
Use scientifically defensible methodologies

CARB 6
11
Proposed applicability based on: Criteria pollutant threshold [ 93401(a)(4)(A)-(B) ]
criteria pollutants > 4 tons per year (100 tpy for CO)
Toxic air contaminant thresholds [ 93401(a)(4)(C) ]
emissions, such as metal plating and hazardous waste facilities
threshold is exceeded, such as hours of operation or gallons of fuel consumed for a diesel fired engine
12
Toxics applicability thresholds reflect: [ Table A-3 ]
effects (cumulative effects from multiple facilities)
Sector-based toxics thresholds
Inventory Criteria and Guidelines (AB 2588 “Hot Spots” program)
for method development in some cases

Example: “Phase 1” Sectors for Inclusion, Based on Toxics Emissions
*Sector with no minimum threshold
14
Reporting for “toxics” industry sectors phased
District Classification A 2021 data, reported in 2022 2023 data, reported in 2024 2024 data, reported in 2025 B 2022 data, reported in 2023 2024 data, reported in 2025 2025 data, reported in 2026
Proposed Schedule by District Classifications and Sector Phase
Two years provided between Sector Phases to provide additional implementation time
CARB 8
15
Sources that qualify for abbreviated reporting will have
reduced reporting requirements
Abbreviated emissions estimates quantified by district or
CARB staff based on facility- or agency-supplied activity data
Proposed sources with the option for Abbreviated Reporting
include:
Agricultural operations Combustion of natural gas or propane in boilers or heaters Emergency standby generators and direct- drive emergency standby fire pump engines Retail sale of gasoline Cremation of humans and animals Construction aggregate processing, where no asphalt products are used or produced Others?
16
Facilities with permits to operate
CARB is leveraging statewide information
Natural gas or diesel combustion only (~15% of facilities):
report fuel consumption only, other data upon request
CARB 9
17
Example:
A hotel with only a permitted diesel-powered emergency backup generator in Placer County, 30 hours of operation
reported in 2023; no stack data required unless requested (abbreviated reporting); alternate schedules and activity data may be proposed by district
18
Example
An auto-body paint shop in Fresno, greater than 50 gallons of coatings used during the year
data pursuant to district requirements beginning with 2023 data reported in 2024; stack information may be deferred until 2026 (or longer upon CARB approval of a request).
CARB 10
19
Examples
A high school with a permitted natural gas boiler and no other
permitted devices burns 60 million standard cubic feet of natural gas
thresholds
A dry cleaning facility in San Diego
requirements (likely the contents of, or reference to, the specific cleaning solvents used, amounts purchased, waste solvent removed, etc.), beginning with 2023 data reported in 2024
20
Definitions
Reporting of emissions from on-site use of diesel-
powered portable engines or devices
Petition process for districts to request additional
abbreviated reporting categories and alternative activity data parameters or data collection schedules
